Chapter 386: Domestic and foreign box office word-of-mouth blossoms
On the first day of the release of "Dream Travel", the box office performance was not particularly good.
After all, there is still some time before the summer vacation.
In fact, it is not a particularly good schedule choice.
Even except for "Dream Travel", some other movies have basically chosen to postpone their release to the summer file.
This is also because it happens to be released at the same time as the United States.
Of course, although the schedule is a little awkward, it is not completely without any benefits.
Such a slightly unpopular schedule also makes "Dream Travel" have no corresponding competitors in the Chinese film market.
Basically, there are very few choices that choose to go into the theater during this time period.
"Dream Travel" also successfully got a fairly high number of films.
The box office of more than 100 million on the first day is not a very high achievement for the publicity with the blessing of Xu Ji's name in the early stage.
But in stark contrast to the box office, the word-of-mouth of the movie exploded directly.
The rating on Petal's online score on the first day was a score of 9.3, and basically all of them were praised.
And film reviews such as Sang Shaolong and other self-media are also praising them.
"I originally thought that Xu Ji's new animated film would overturn this time, but I didn't expect it to be so good."
"Although I don't know the tastes of foreign audiences, I think if it were a movie of this quality, it wouldn't have overturned even abroad, right?"
"The enshrined relics are the passageways for the family to return home, and the memories that reside are the divine power to keep the spirits alive...... After watching the movie, I walked out of the theater with red eyes, and I can only say that Xu Ji is awesome!"
......
In addition to the evaluation of the film itself, in fact, the most discussed is Xu Ji's intention to enter foreign markets such as the United States this time.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
The reason for the largest increase in the number of films is that when there are no other movies, the audience can only choose their theaters to watch the movie.
That's what Yin Shabeth wants to see.
Some of the other films that originally gave "Dream Travel" were pitiful.
After all, the production company of this movie is a subsidiary of Huaxia.
And it's also the cooperation that Lucky's loser Martin came to talk about.
No one is optimistic.
Who would have thought that after the movie was released, the box office and word-of-mouth would be bumper.
Yin Shabai once again increased the number of films in "Dream Travel" according to the original plan.
It's basically close to 40 percent.
It is equivalent to directly abandoning the other two films of the same period.
But Yin Sabai knew that his time was only a few days.
After some other theaters are screened, then if everyone adds the amount of film scheduled, then their theaters will not have such a big advantage.
But this does not affect the fact that relying on the previous premiere for three days, at least tens of millions of dollars more revenue for the theater chain.
This kind of business is quite cost-effective, and Yin Sabai would like to come a few more times.
......
At the same time, another state in the United States, Borg, as the theater chain with the largest number of theaters and the largest influence in the entire United States, also discovered that something was wrong at this time.
"What's going on with this Dream Quest?"
"Why am I completely unimpressed with this movie?"
Although in the same schedule, the box office of "Dream Travel" ranked third.
But it was the first day of the premiere, and the film wasn't very special in terms of publicity.
As for the production company or something, I have never heard of the name at all.
But it directly won more than 30 million US dollars at the box office.
It is impossible not to attract everyone's attention.
"Mr. Borg, I'm in charge of this."
"At that time, it was Paigie's Martin who came to me to talk about working with me on behalf of the film's investors, so I didn't care about it at the time......
One of the company's top managers spoke.
Aric Borg couldn't help but frown at this time.
Borg is a family business, having taken over from his father a decade ago.
Subsequently, the Borg Cinema Line gradually became the leader from the original third in the United States to the current leading position.
For example, Patrick of the Eight Major Pictures also has a lot of cooperation with Borg, and he has also heard of the second generation of the gentleman named Martin.
I really can understand why the manager of the company would not take it seriously.
"You haven't seen this "Dream Travel" since it was delivered?"
Hearing Aric Borg's words, the manager was suddenly scared out of a cold sweat.
But he can only answer this question and haven't read it.
Because if you don't read the answer, at most you are not serious about your work, careless, too arrogant, and so on.
But if you watch it, but still don't give that little amount of film, it's a matter of his personal vision and ability.
"I'm sorry, because I was busy at the time, and it was Martin who came to talk about cooperation, so I ......."
Aric Borg waved his hand.
"Alright, you're already a veteran of the company."
"I'll give you a chance, if there's another time, Mr. Waka, you'll have to find another job."
The manager nodded frantically at this time.
Don't dare to say anything more.
"I took a look, except for Yin Shabai's side, basically other theaters, including us, didn't give this movie any amount of film."
"But it still won more than $30 million, which is enough to prove its potential."
"Inform me to go down and put this "Dream Ring".
The schedule of "Travelogue" will be pulled up first, don't let Yin Shabai's theater pick up the cheap again!"
......
In fact, when the box office of "Dream Travel" came out on the first day at this time, the most excited was not Yin Sabeth's side, nor the employees of Cherry Studios in the United States.
Instead, it's Martin Mason, the second son of Patrick.
Although it doesn't seem like this matter has much to do with him.
He just went to help use his connections to get the movie released in most theaters on the American side.
But there is still a sense of honor.
The most important thing is that after he joined Tongji Entertainment, he always felt that he had been fooled.
After all, a movie with less than 5 million investment really made him feel that Xu Ji's company was a bit too unreliable.
But when the box office of "Dream Travel" came out on the first day, and then remembered the bold words that Xu Ji said to him at the beginning, Martin Mason was extremely excited.
At this time, the filming of "Chainsaw" had reached the final stage.
Subsequent post-production is expected to be completed within a month.
Martin can't wait to see how the film performs at the box office when it hits theaters.
The most important thing is that today his father called him.
When asked him about "Dream Travel" and Tongji Entertainment, Martin pretended to be a serious tone that he had trade secrets and could not be leaked.
made his father quite helpless, but finally scolded him without a phone call.
On the contrary, he also said that if there is anything that needs help, let Martin not die alone.
After all, there are resources at home, so there is no need to give them up.
Although Martin was very steady on the phone, there was not even a big fluctuation in his tone.
But when he hung up the phone, he almost jumped with excitement.
The main thing is that for the first time, he felt that his father's attitude had changed.
It's no longer a disgusting tone for him the whole time.
Martin Mason was actually able to agree to Xu Ji at the beginning, and it was also because the other party mentioned that he could make everyone look at him, a rich second generation who did not learn and did not know how to do it.
And what Martin cares about the most is naturally his father's opinion.
After all, compared to his obedient brother, who will inherit Pai Qi in the future, he really looks like a person who will only cause trouble.
Martin had always been unconcerned before, but only he knew in his heart that he still cared about all this.
It's because I don't know how to change, and sometimes I will be misunderstood, so I simply break the jar and break it.
......
On the side of Paiki Pictures, Martin's father, Wesker Mason, doesn't want to pay attention to the recently released "Dream Quest".
Mainly because after the box office of the movie came out, many commercial partners called and asked what the relationship between the movie and their Paitch was.
In fact, Paigie's has always been weak in animation.
It's not as good as some of the eight major film companies that can produce a hit animated movie from time to time.
In terms of Paigie's animated films, there are basically no movies with good results.
So this time in "Dream Travel", everyone thought it was a big move that Pai Qi quietly held back or something.
The only one who was confused was the CEO of Wesker Mason, who didn't know about it.
asked his subordinates to check it, and it also showed that this animated movie had nothing to do with them at all.
It is not an investor, and it does not provide any help to the other party.
He also wondered why so many people would associate Paitch with this "Dream Quest".
Until I heard someone mention the name of his second son, Martin.
He realized why.
"Mr. Wesker, we've found out.
」
"The production company for this animated film is a company called Cherry Animation."
"And this cherry animation is wholly owned by the Tongji Entertainment in Huaxia mentioned last time."
Hearing the results of the investigation, Wesker was not surprised at all.
In fact, from the moment he knew that Martin went to a theater to help talk about cooperation, he knew that this matter was probably inseparable from this Huaxia company.
Because Martin now seems to be working under this Chinese man named Xu Ji.
Even before I had to hear at least three times a week about what trouble Martin had caused again, more than a month had passed, but Martin seemed unusually peaceful.
You can't even see anyone.
The crew who stays in filming every day is completely like a different person.
"Shall we go and get in touch with this company?"
The subordinate asked tentatively.
After all, Martin's identity is known to everyone, and it is difficult not to feel that the other party is a Martin who is approaching with a purpose.
Wesker Mason shook his head.
"Not yet."
"I don't understand what this Xu Ji wants to do now?"
"Given the size and strength of his company, as well as the level of production of this 'Dream Quest', there is no need to use this kid Martin to reach us."
"If you come directly to Pai Qi to talk to us about cooperation, we will not refuse, and we will even welcome it."
The subordinate couldn't help but guess at this time:
"Sir, could it be because this Huaxia man really takes a fancy to Young Master Martin's talent?"
Wesker Mason couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
"Martin, that guy can have ......."
Wesker stopped in the middle of speaking.
Mainly thinking about the changes that have taken place in Martin Mason during this time.
Maybe it's really because my previous prejudice was too big?
After all, it is the son of his Wesker, although there has been no good evaluation over the years.
But Martin has always been in shapeless, if he really does something seriously, is it true that there is no hope of success at all?
Although he did not accompany his two sons to grow up because of work.
But they all know each other well, and Martin, as his youngest son, is actually not a stupid person, but quite smart.
Of course, many times the other party's cleverness is reflected in how to cheat money from him.
"If I can really get my son to change his ways, I will be grateful for this miracle."
"Don't worry about Martin's side for the time being, I want to see how far this kid can go."
